Overview
Mission
A community development center serving our local community by engaging in a broad range of strategies that promotes community health and development.
What it reported doing in 2025
Neighbours Table Coffee and Commons is located in the Kerns neighborhood of NE Portland. Our vision is to "table together," to be a place where you enjoy great coffee and good company. We serve coffee and tea by hiring marginal youth, those in recovery, or those needing to gain job history and/or experience due to a GAP in employment on a paid 3 month job training initiative to gain valuable experience in the coffee industry. Neighbours Table Coffee and Commons does not discriminate on the grounds of race, color, gender, sex, marital status, religion, national origin, age, sexual orientation, or disability.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and expenses are high relative to revenue.
